Committed to the niche of power metal since their early days in 1999, Sabaton have become one of the genre’s most powerful live bands. Developing their niche further, Sabaton’s lyrics mainly deal with war in all its forms; be it Vietnam or the Battle of Hastings. Though war is Sabaton’s core theme, you won’t find them glorifying it - their lyrics tend to promote peace.
With the releases of The Art of War (CD | vinyl <http://www.emp.co.uk/art_282799/>) and Coat of Arms, Sabaton matured musically. Keyboard sections were indelibly integrated into the band's sound, and are still a vital element of the songs today. Before the release of Carolus Rex (CD | vinyl | 2-CD deluxe edition) in 2012, several of Sabaton’s band members announced they were leaving the band to form Civil War. But Joakim Brodén and Pär Sundström remained, recruiting Chris Rörland, Tommy Johansson and Hannes van Dahl to the cause, and in 2016 The Last Stand (CD | vinyl | EMP-exclusive red vinyl | CD & DVD) was released. Still touring, writing and performing, such is the band’s popularity that they even have their own festival - if you’re in Sweden and looking for the ultimate fan experience, Sabaton Open Air is the place to be - just make sure you grab some of our Sabaton merchandise to wear first!
